David Connolly

[theworm2345]

Any news on where Connolly will be next year?

I was disappointed that he wasn't given a chance this year. I thought he was their best player when they were in the championship last year.

Hello matey,
I offer you a big welcome to this site and specifically this thread

I agree he was the best player in the Championship last year (hell, I believe he was the best player this year he just didn't get a chance ). He recently had surgery on his hip and will not be even training until September so he probably will be loaned out when he returns to fitness. By the way, expect a backlash for bumping this thread

Thanks I was kinding of expecting it... but I think more people should stand up for him, I think he's really talented... He really seemed to link Sunderland's midfield with their strikers last year... I think they missed that a lot this year. I hope he gets back his fitness soon and gets a good opportunity to show what he can do somewhere else.

I agree with you...the problem is everyone else in Ireland and this board
If we had a most disliked Irish international poll on this board I'd say he'd be 2nd to Stephen Ireland

I thought there was a rule against one person having two user accounts? Surely there cannot be two David Connolly fans in this universe?

Must be really slow in the Ireland section of foot.ie when Ian Harte and David Connolly threads start rearing their ugly heads again.

"A face like a slapped arse" was a classic

[as_i_say]

hah. yeah its pretty slow alright. I'd like to have my name officially added to the Connolly fan list on here. Is he still with sunderland? i suppose i would know if i was a fan.

eh

I'm a big fan of Connolly too... He always seemed to get a hard time from the crowd and put himself under too much pressure when he played for Ireland. Can't understand how he didnt' get more of a run in the Sunderland team last year... he was awesome for them in their promotion push.

There is a reason a player gets a "hard time" usually because they're not very good. Both he and Stephen Elliott are cut from the same mould. To survive as a midget striker you have to have that extra ability. Alas neither has it and while both would be reasonable Championship players, they certainly aren't international class unfortunately. Connolly has had some awful games for Ireland I am afraid.

You must have been ****ing yourself when he was linked with Wednesday last season (assuming the owls part of your name is for them)

Oh no, I've been caught red-handed! Lord knows the first thing I'd do if I created a second account is make it obvious its me by going straight for the Connolly thread. Have dahamsta check the IPs if you don't believe me

It's like heroin to you Worm. You couldn't stay away from the Connolly thread with your new account. You are using rolling IPs.

Needless to say David Connolly is sh*t. I do admire your unflinching loyalty though.

The problem is, musicinmouth and I posted within an hour of each other and rolling IPs (to my knowledge) change only after 24 hours or so. Maybe I used Anonymouse or something and all of that heroin made me forget

[musicinmouth]

as weird as it may be to you, i think david connolly is very skilful and the most underrated of our players... i know he has had some very bad games for us and missed some sitters... but i have seen him play amazingly at club level.

and no i didn't open up a second account.

Why did yoy say Chicago?

Just curious. Anything against those of us who live in the windy city?

And count me in as a Connolly fan.

[John83]

Ah, now I understand. I thought the David Connolly thread was about David Connolly. I feel embarrassed now.

No, he thinks its me with another account, thats why. Trust me, if he hated on Chicago I'd rip into him worse than if he hated on Connolly

oh dear ... "I thought there was a rule against one person having two user accounts? Surely there cannot be two David Connolly fans in this universe?"


I was quite obviously .. at least I thought it was obvious.... JOKING!!! Boom boom!

and then another new poster appears ... so I made a joke (okay, this time it was not so obvious) that it was either you or one of your pals in Chicago .. (why am I even explaining this) .. posing as the third DC fan in the DC fan club. No conspiracy theory .. no reporting to dahamsta .. just bouncing the ball and having cheap laugh. Sorry. Nothing malicious either ... actually rated Connolly in his prime and if only he had stuck that chance in against Spain in the World Cup Second round game against Spain .. he might of become a folk hero... and the David Connolly fan club might have a few more members.

and why would have i (or anyone) anything against Chicago (or any city for that matter)... ridiculous. I don't hate Connolly or Chicago or even Bohs or Rovers.

note to self: never post on the david connolly thread again.

And it doesn't seem like I know that you were joking? maybe I should make it more obvious next time. And please, do not ever post in the DC thread anymore, it won't bother me...remember, if you have nothing nice to say, say nothing at all

This thread is 7 years old - World War 2 didn't last that long.

It was also less painful for those involved.

Relax worm. I can only speak for myself when I reiterate that I personally admire your unflinching loyalty towards your second favourite player whether I believe he deserves it or not.
